Fresh from his impromptu concert in the Camp Moshava dining hall, Matisyahu has signed up to perform in Jerusalem on Thursday, October 13, at Sultan’s Pool, with singer Ishay Ribo opening the show.
It’s just a year after Matisyahu’s most recent concert in Israel, when he played at the same venue with Idan Raichel.
Before that, he had been in Jerusalem weeks earlier for an impromptu performance with Shaanan Streett, Saz and Daniel Zamir at the Sacred Music Festival, following a difficult festival appearance in Spain that was interrupted by BDS hecklers.
“Matisyahu loves Israel so much and feels a special connection to the people here, and wasn’t ready to give up on an additional visit this year as well,” said 2BVibes promoter Carmi Wurtman.
The raggae star, a former Hasid, just put out a new single, “Storm Tossed,” written and recorded with his friend Mihali Savoulidis.
